Skip the marriage altogether, but the booze tip is good if you have to go through with it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f59152e6bb3f77671000036#1 Way to save wedding doughThu, 08 Mar 2012 15:23:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4f59152e6bb3f77671000036
Booze is a tough one for wedding receptions. If it's dry, even for religious reasons, all people will remember of your wedding is the reception sucked. If you have a cash bar, you look like a cheap ass and all people will remember, is you're a cheap ass who charged them to drink at your wedding. Most places totally scam you on booze. So, my wife and I found a place that let you bring in your own booze. You save a ton of money and better yet, you get to take the leftovers home. Most folks are ok with just beer and wine too but for not a heck of a lot more you can stock a smallish hard stuff bar. And, you get to take the leftovers home.
Granted, this limits your choice of reception locations but if you're tight on cash, you can still have a nice reception and better yet, your guests will remember your wedding as one of the best they've been to since the food was (hopefully) good and they had plenty to drink.
